About Molly

Molly Tonks works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, depression and life changes, using a client-centred way of working. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience in counselling.

Molly offers time to talk things through and to make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions focus on what the person brings and on developing practical ways to cope. She does not direct people on what to do but listens and responds to what they say.

Her work includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue and issues around intimacy and attachment. She also addresses concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, anger, and work-related stress. Molly has an interest in matters linked to family roles, blended family issues and fatherhood questions.

People come to her for help with more specific difficulties too, such as ADHD, chronic illness or pain, domestic violence, and coping after separation or disaster. She also supports LGBT concerns and first responder issues. Her practice gives time to discuss how day-to-day life is affected and what might make a difference.

Molly uses client-centred therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. Sessions are intended to help people increase self-awareness and find the tools that suit them. She works online and asks people to confirm current session options before booking.

How client-centred work translates to online counselling

Molly uses client-centred therapy online, which means the person's experience guides each session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what is said and helping the client make sense of feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and improving self-understanding.

She also focuses on practical coping - using sessions to identify everyday tools and steps that can help with sleep, stress, anger or trauma-related reactions. That work tends to be concrete and based on what the person finds helpful rather than on following a strict programme.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree what to try first. This collaborative process helps adjust the way sessions run as you learn what helps most.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online counselling can nevertheless make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require a camera depending on your circumstances.
